Opis

"If you love him, you will do it." These vague words had haunted reporter Adele Lumas for nearly as long as she could remember, in fractured dreams where she was pursued by an unknown but threatening entity. She believed the disturbing phenomenon a by-product of her various mental ailments, such as schizophrenia, where hushed voices plagued her waking life as much as the monsters in her dreams tormented her. This, compounded with the devastating events surrounding her origin, kept Adele in a lonely cocoon where she had but one purpose: she tenaciously pursued every human monster that dared rear its head in her small Massachusetts town. Things take a turn for the worse when Adele begins to have different dreams, where she is no longer prey, but the hunter. She stalks children in a relentless pursuit of blood. As disturbing as these dreams were, nothing could have prepared Adele for the shocking discovery that the victims in her dreams were real children being systematically targeted by a mysterious serial killer who would drain their tiny bodies of blood, and then steal them from the grave. Her sanity is ultimately questioned when she encounters the killer face to face and she realizes the killer isn't human at all. It is a vampire... and it is getting much too close for comfort by attacking those who are close to her. As Adele struggles to maintain her perspective in this impossible situation, a beautiful man enters her life and makes her feel anything but odd or weird. He makes her feel beautiful, desired... loved. It was the first such time in her life where she even entertained the idea of romance, mostly because there is a connection to this man she cannot explain. Even more disconcerting, it is almost impossible to resist - as though she and this stranger are tied together by an unbreakable bond. Adele begins to piece together the puzzle, which suggests she has a connection to the vampire in ways she could have never imagined. Painful revelations force her to reckon with the ominous request of her dreams. What is she willing to do for love? And who is she willing to sacrifice? "My Immortal" is a paranormal romance that blends vampire lore with reincarnation, which explores the idea of soul mates and sacrifice. Written by author Ginger Voight ("Love Plus One," "Under Texas Skies," "Dirty Little Secrets,") it blends her two loves of the romance and horror genres into a sensual, spooky suspense.
